Abstract
Amphotericin B and fluconazole were compared for the treatment of experimental Candida endocarditis caused by Candida tropicalis and C. parapsilosis. Rabbits received no therapy, amphotericin B (1 mg/kg of body weight per day intravenously), or fluconazole (100 mg/kg/day intraperitoneally) for either 11 or 21 days. Against both species, amphotericin B and fluconazole were equally effective overall; however, amphotericin B was more rapidly fungicidal than fluconazole in vivo against C. tropicalis.Entities:
